Interesting?!

Realised today that most of the tamil/hindi films whose songs I love have one common characteristic. There are quite a few songs from each of these movies that compete for the second best song of the movie. I would've imagined that the contest would be for the best song, but this formula seems to work out in most movies I recall. But now that I've written this down, I wonder if it was that non-obvious after all.

Note: This post was a result of listening to Pudhupettai songs in the same order for the umpteenth time.

P.S:

Virupathil konjam, varuthathil konjam
Ithu thaane vaazhkai motham, ithilenna vesham?
